What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Tectonics
- Sedimentary rock
- Plate tectonics
Michael P. Coward mainly investigates Suture, Paleontology, Seismology, Island arc and Shear zone.
His research in Suture intersects with topics in Obduction and Crust.
His work on Terrane and Neotectonics as part of general Paleontology study is frequently linked to Plateau, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.
In his study, Imbrication, Fission track dating, Magmatism and Collision zone is inextricably linked to Metamorphism, which falls within the broad field of Island arc.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Subduction, Plate tectonics and Batholith in addition to Shear zone.
His studies deal with areas such as Nappe, Passive margin and Main Central Thrust as well as Plate tectonics.
His most cited work include:
- The closing of Tethys and the tectonics of the Himalaya (561 citations)
- Alpine tectonics — an overview (243 citations)
- K‐Ar and Ar‐Ar geochronology of the Himalayan collision in NW Pakistan: Constraints on the timing of suturing, deformation, metamorphism and uplift (231 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Paleontology, Seismology, Geochemistry, Inversion and Geomorphology are his primary areas of study.
His Paleontology and Suture, Nappe, Graben, Rift and Sedimentary rock investigations all form part of his Paleontology research activities.
His Suture study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Obduction, Crust, Island arc, Gneiss and Terrane.
His Island arc research integrates issues from Shear zone and Collision zone.
His research integrates issues of Orogeny and Mineralogy in his study of Geochemistry.
Michael P. Coward combines subjects such as Salt tectonics, Normal fault and Triple junction, Geophysics with his study of Inversion.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (39.29%)
- Seismology (35.71%)
- Geochemistry (17.86%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1995-2007)?
- Paleontology (39.29%)
- Seismology (35.71%)
- Graben (10.71%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Michael P. Coward spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Seismology, Graben, Paleogene and Rift.
Borrowing concepts from Margin, he weaves in ideas under Paleontology.
When carried out as part of a general Seismology research project, his work on Sinistral and dextral, Transpression and Subduction is frequently linked to work in Wedge, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
His Subduction research incorporates themes from Crust, Mantle and Thrust fault.
Michael P. Coward studied Graben and Fault that intersect with North sea, Sedimentary basin, Half-graben and Inversion.
His Paleogene research integrates issues from Sedimentary rock, Nappe and Window.
Between 1995 and 2007, his most popular works were:
- Frontal part of the northern Apennines fold and thrust belt in the Romagna‐Marche area (Italy): Shallow and deep structural styles (111 citations)
- A tectonostratigraphic framework for the Mid-Norway region (64 citations)
- The structure and evolution of the Northern Tyrrhenian Sea (50 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Tectonics
- Plate tectonics
Michael P. Coward focuses on Paleontology, Seismology, Syncline, Subsidence and Oceanic crust.
His research related to Cretaceous, Source rock, Fold and Foreland basin might be considered part of Paleontology.
All of his Seismology and Décollement, Critical taper, Fold and thrust belt, Anticline and Tectonophysics investigations are sub-components of the entire Seismology study.
The concepts of his Syncline study are interwoven with issues in Devonian, Tectonostratigraphy, Maturity and Paleogene.
His studies in Subsidence integrate themes in fields like Crust, Rift, Thrust fault, Delamination and Mantle.
His Oceanic crust study introduces a deeper knowledge of Subduction.
